Title: Marketing scumbag banner spam

Rapid7 is currently running a user survey about Metasploit users and their use cases for a couple weeks. In order to ensure Framework folks don't miss out and have a shot at both guiding MSF development priorities and winning that sweet, sweet Pineapple Mk5, our wise marketing department suggested a banner splat.
